It’s here. It’s here! It’s here!!!!!

One of our most popular yarns is Chaletfrom our MountainTop Collection. It’s super
yummy and snuggly - and everyone loves it. From day one, people have been
asking us “When are you going to get this is colors?” I have good news! It’s
here!

Chateau is Chalet’s
colorful cousin. It comes in 8 A-M-A-Z-I-N-G colors. All of which work back to
the natural colors of the Chalet. It is the same alpaca and bamboo chainette
that makes a luxurious, lofty, soft, plush, superior, exquisite, wonderful
yarn. It is a bulky yarn, yet because of its chainette construction it is also
lightweight and airy when knit at a looser gauge. The bamboo lends lots of
drape to garments and accessories. And it has beautiful stitch definition - cables
are gorgeous, lace is incredible and simple stockinette is breath taking.

Can you tell I like this yarn?

Because Chateau is the
same base as Chalet, there are countless
opportunities to revisit some favorite patterns. I had a little fun with
Photoshop to give you some previews.

By far, the Color Block Bias Wrap from Handmade Los Angeles I is our most
popular design in Chalet. I see a new one pop up on Facebook or Ravelryat
least once a week. While part of the beauty of the wrap is the neutrals which go
with everything, sometimes you need a little color. Whether you replace just
one color in the wrap or go all out and change all of them, your FO will be the
envy of everyone in your LYS.

Another popular design is the Velvetrixfrom Soft & Cozy.
I love big cowl necks that you can cozy up in. The stockinette body of the
sweater will go quickly, while the cable detail on the neck will highlight your
knitting skills.

I also love the Appenzell from the Chalet book last year. The yarn really highlights the cable and moss stitch patterns
used in this side-to-side dolman sweater. Perfect with a pair of jeans for the
weekends or with a skirt for the office.

1457 Clear Blue

I highly recommend running (not walking) to your LYS to get a
few (or 20) skeins of Chateau to make something wonderful today!
